[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1254213, member: 42497"] The adapter may be a bottleneck. Had similar problems slow boot times, unable to boot from disc etc so purchased a BenQ 22" LED. Sadly the day of ADC is long gone. For your needs can recommend the ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB card, which is a flashed PC card. Have a look on eBay for such. Can also recommend local338 dealer from Hong Kong purchased card, PCI equipment from them many times. Next choice would be a slower nVidia GeForce 8800GT which must be for 1st Generation Mac Pros. There are two versions. [/QUOTE]
